Talking Humour

No Not trying to be funny in any way. Just trying to stop people dying. Just been to a funeral of a friend who was killed in an accident and thought maybe trying to stop stop it happening again might be a good idea. Some of our guys fly powered parachutes and if one on those goes through the wake vortex of a Helo at 100 feet he ain't ging to get that wing inflated again before he is a hole in the ground.
I've been on the net to try and find the 2 helicopter schools but although I found a couple of fixed wing schools I didn't find them. If anyone can pass their details on I will write to them and politely ask them to put a note on their notice board.
If there was an instuctor on board there is no excuse. If not maybe a little refresher on 500 foot rule, private, wake vortex and lookout might be in order. The snag with the Robinson is the reg letters are bloody small so it's tricky to trace the pilot.
